lyrics

Juan found Janie in a razor-toting craze
He wears her footprints walking on his face
But when she wants to speed she comes crawling to me
Clawing at the window, black cats crawling up her knees

And Washboard Sam said to Abyssinian Ned
'This white lightning's going to my head'
Said a Brownstone woman don't do the easy roll
Wearing my hand, bound to be tearing up my soul
I'd know, I put that hole in your shoe
Come on pretty mama, give me that evil that you do

And Boxcar Joe…what do you know?
Told Peggie Dye 'Our love is gonna grow'
And she turned green, had to make a scene
He tried to catch the first thing smoking but she shot him at the door
If you love him, shake him on down
Everyone's sane, you gotta shoot him on down

No more, no war is happening to me

If you love him, shoot your man down
In the sawdust and the snuff juice we gonna jump and shout
